Just go ahead and book it.
I have stayed in many book-a-baches over the years, and while most are always great, a few just rise out above the rest to stand as being exceptional. And Didi's place is one of those exceptional ones. The extra thoughtfulness is simply outstanding - we arrived on a hot 28 degrees afternoon and the A/C had been turned on for when we arrive so we got to walk into a cool and blissful space. Fresh fruit in a bowl, muesli with yoghurt or milk ready for breakfast, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable, full size fridge and stove, and all very centrally located. Just simply one of the exceptional places available on book-a-bach. Thank-you Delia.

Great stay
Can walk to Ahurihi and the city centre but if you can't do hills then drive or get the bus. Wonderful for the dogs. Fully fenced back yard. Absolutely everything you may need and more. Thank you for the goodies and the dog beds (we took our own anyway. Also recommend Pakowhai Regional (dog) park. Just wonderful. Taking my photos to work tomorrow to show people the property

Lovely dog friendly place
Enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Well presented and clean little property. Nice little extras of coffee and chocolate. Our 2 dogs loved the dog beds and great to have dog bowls provided. Small well fenced area for dogs in the lovely patio area. Excellent communication with host. Perfect location as close to city centre and easy to get too.

Crib stay
We enjoyed staying in this little crib (Scottish for cottage). It had everything we needed; within easy walking distance to the CBD. Thanks to the hostess for the sweet treats and special coffee. We found the microwave a bit high up, both of us being vertically challenged!

Didi's place
This is a cute little house - perfect for the 2 of us and Didi went the extra mile to ensure our 2 small dogs were welcomed as well. That meant a lot to us :) Not to mention all the other small thoughts that were left 'in-case' they were needed, is not the usual things a host at a BnB would think to do. Thank You! Great location - walk down the hill to central Napier and all the shops/restaurants, down the other side to Ahuriri and the bars - can't go wrong. We will be back for sure - absolutely enjoyed our stay :)

This was the perfect place to stay in Napier with our 2 little dogs. Beautifully appointed with everything anyone could want or need. So welcoming with those extra special touches Delia provides. Our dogs loved the cosy pet beds and there were even lovely water and food bowls for them to use. It was great to know our dogs were safe when we let them outside. This was our 2nd visit, we’ll be back for sure. Thank you for having us :-)

Best rental ever!
We stayed at Didi’s place for a month and wished we never had to leave. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home, but better. We felt cocooned in comfort and thoughtful details to make our stay the best it could be. The decor is beautiful, furniture and beds comfy, backyard a cozy oasis of greenery, and kitchen and bathroom thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. And it smells good! We would love to return!

Five stars doesn't do it justice
We were here as a family - one teenager and two dogs. Travelling with dogs can be restrictive, but Didi"s Place went above and beyond. Not only was the place scrupulously clean and tidy but there were so many thoughtful touches. From the coffee tuned to our tastes, to the emergency supplies drawer. When it came to the dogs there were two beds (sized to our pets), bowls, and pickup bags all provided. The (human) bed was super comfortable and everything was exactly as claimed. To top it off, the original features are intact and the furnishings all reflect or complement the deco period nicely. If we're back to Napier, we will 100% try to book Didi's place!

Napier Gem
A great little unit that is comfortable and practical. We enjoyed our two night stay and made the most of its proximty to the heart of Napier Marine Parade and CBD. Off-street parking for two cars was a bonus and the street it is located on is not as busy as I had anticipated. For anyone who likes to cook, the kitched has pretty much all the equipment you require. While our stay was relatively short, I can easily imagine longer stays. Thank you Didi for making this property available. I will be looking to include it as part of future excursions to the Bay.

Thanks Didi
Such a great place, a home away from home. The host has thought of everything and is so accommodating, all the little things they've thought of to make us feel at home. Perfect location, it's on a busy (ish) road but with a bus stop right outside, and an easy walk down to the city centre. And a new fish n chip shop a few houses down (yum!!), with a superette too. This wee place made for a perfect getaway for two friends taking a break for a few days, thanks again.
